Made for the 48th Venice Biennale, this work explores the theatrical quality of the city of Venice and its inhabitants. A total of thirty-six citizens from different neighborhoods, with different professions, ages, and social strata were filmed while dressing themselves, as if they were actors preparing to go on stage. During the acting out of this daily ritual to the cameras, they were invited to imagine the moment of their death, and to describe it in the past tense. By confronting the banality of an everyday action with the fictionalization of death, the work brings subjectivity and public life, the inner and the outer closer together.
